Who have you missed ?

[Kevloaf]

Supreme - Dusart, maybe, could have chanced him before he ran and I'd have been in a better sport.
Mares - Concertista - halved in price and looks really solid.
Ballymore - Bravemansgame, Star Gate both possibly, especially the latter as I did like him a lot prior to his last run which was v. good.
QMCC - Notebook possibly as he's 16/1 and I'm not on at all but know he was 40s
Cross Country - Potters Corner - single figures and not even on my radar really.
Bumper - Kilcruit - currently Willie's shortest priced horse so if that was still the case in March I'd feel I'd missed out.
Stayers Hurdle - Sire Du Berlais - single figures, dual festival winner. Not one I'm that upset about but given the chance I'd rather be on him that not now.
Mares Novice - Shewearsitwell and Princess Zoe - missed both, looks like I may get lucky on that though.
Foxhunters - Billaway - Not a race I really tend to get stuck into and sat out the last opportunity on him as thought it wasn't a gimmie so now I've "missed the price".


That about sums up every horse though to be honest that I'd want backed that I haven't got currently...and even some of the above I can do without.


Too early to worry about missing anything in the handicaps, and in 2 weeks time this list could be massive especially in the novice hurdle division... but we'll see

Zanahiyr for me. Was eyeing him up the morning of the day he ran, then got distracted and missed the price.

Mares - Concertista - halved in price and looks really solid.

Totally forgot about Concertista she's another to add to my list.

[Kevloaf]

Envoi Allen.

Don't think I have one bet with him in.

Fingers crossed for a stone bruise !

Obviously prefer to see him run to be fair.

I will consider putting him in every NRNB I make. Making them all doubles.
May do the same with Epatante, and possibly Shishkin, although he is my least likely of the three.

What price would be too short for you to do that?

I don't know if I'll be brave enough to do that, would absolutely love to though.

I've been thinking about it, and it may well be too short.
It's difficult as they often go too short and better is available after decs.

However, this may not be the case with this one as he could even get shorter if other horses shy away.
I'd like to think 4/6, but if Epatante is bigger I'll go all in with her, I've already done several with her.

She may go into a few once they go NRNB in the championship races. Especially if evens, but I fear that will be around 4/6 also if she wins the xmas hurdle.

Shishkin does not deserve to be the price he is now, that's piss poor.
And Henderson is unlikely to overface him next time.

If I could be arsed I'd lay Shishkin at 5/4 as his division may well have the most competition come March.

I'm expecting the prices to be too short though so may wait till the festival itself for my on the day bets, unless I figure it will definitely shorten.

If I do this though I'll split stakes.
eg.
2pt double - Envoi + something
2pt single. - something

something is an absolute certainty

[Faugheen_Machine]

Epatante is a horse I haven't got covered at all. She's too short for me to back now so I'll just let her run.

Imperial Aura is the other that I feel like I've missed out on.

haha yeah, let us know what something is. Hopefully better than mystery horse.

What price would you back her at now d'ya reckon?

I don't know price she'd have to be for me to back her in a single. Probably bigger than she's been at any point... until NRNB when I get get my space hopper balls out.

I think I'm more likely to lay her than back her but it's purely a price thing at the moment.

I'd want 9/4 to back her in a single. A bit greedy on my part

[Dandrew99]

Galvin and Sir Gerhard for me, plus Zanahiyr to a lesser extent (managed to get him in a roll up at around 18s).

Less bothered about Sir Gerhard, he definitely deserves to be favourite but he had enough questions to answer. I try not to get involved in the bumper too early, and I stick by that even though it's obviously a kick in the nuts this year. Everyone on here was talking about Galvin, I didn't expect him to win as impressively as he did and his price rightfully took a tumble. No point dwelling I guess...

[BigChaang]

If any , it's Sir Gerhard and Zanahiyr for me too , but like you Dandrew , i try not too get involved
with the Bumper and Triumph hdle too early .. Only upside is i backed Zanahiyr in july at Fairyhouse @7-1.

No point in looking back. If you've missed a price it's because it wasn't right for you at the time but hindsight is 20:20 vision.

[Lbur4288]

For me personally I ignored Monkfish because I was very keen on Easywork for the RSA. I know that you can't really account for injuries (or death in this case) but I rather stupidly didn't get on Monkfish at the bigger prices. I'm now looking at chucking Monkfish in with a couple of other market leaders to try and get a bit of juice into the price but I'd much prefer to have a single covered at a better price.

I've generally got most of the other favourites I like covered at decent prices and I am not just looking to beef up my selections in those races with some value prices before the handicap markets/NRNB etc start appearing across the board.

I think I’ll need to a alternative thread to this titled ‘who haven’t you missed yet’!!!

Like many I was slow on the up take Zanphir which is frustrating as he was one of Mark Howard’s top 40 horses to follow so I was aware of him. I was genuinely surprised at how much his price contracted for a juvenile. I do have him covered now but it cost me 3 points to bring him in line with a few others in that market.

I also wish so had put more on Envoi at a single price when he was 4/1. The price appeared tight at the time but he’s been brilliant so far and will be odds on if he turns up fit to the festival.

The only other horse I’ve not covered yet individually is CPS but like many of you would rather take that risk and lump on closer to the date.
